Importance of digital          

Thanks to the launch of our Expat Communication Coach Academy, and to respond to the needs related to the health crisis, the Job Booster Cocoon has been profoundly rethought.

It has been restructured into 7 new modules, each designed by a specialized coach. Two phases follow one another : during 4 months, an intensive coaching twice a week allows the group to make a skills assessment and to define a project. Then a weekly follow-up of 6 months allows to follow the coachees during their job search. 

But most importantly, the program now takes place in videoconference, or in person. It is accessible anywhere in the world. Two coaches take it in turns to lead each of the modules, with the occasional support of experts for the most technical subjects. The coaching platform provides access to tutorials, videos, and online exercises. The work between sessions is intense and very structured.

Added value

• All the coaches of the Expat Communication Coach Academy are trained, certified and supervised at the end of a demanding selection program. They benefit from continuous training and they work as a team. This is our main guarantee to ensure the quality of our programs.
• 20 years of expertise in international mobility through the personal experience of our coaches and collaborators, as well as the surveys of our Expat Lab.
